      Hey how about you take your homophobia somewhere else?

      Chen picked up Chang in a bridal carry for a photo after they receiving their gold medals, which led many netizens to joke that Chang and Chen are in a romantic relationship, posting online fan-made edits of their interactions in slow-motion paired with romantic captions

      “If love has miracles, I would be the happiest creating them with you,” wrote one Xiaohongshu user who posted a series of moments between the pair moments during the competition.

      “The most romantic thing is to have your names engraved together in sporting history,” commented another user.

    Huh, one is holding the other in their arms. With the hubbub, I thought they’d be 69ing or something. People really have to make a big deal out of everything…

        It’s a gossip/social media story from the South China Morning Post. Don’t know who is worse, the people who make up nonsense like this on social media, or those who reshare this to keep the gossip going.
